A botanical artist and teacher in Japan, Kobayashi follows the French botanical tradition, beginning with the choice of pencils, papers, and watercolors before building each subject one careful layer at a time. Lessons progress from a light sketch to a finished painting, with roses, tulips, hydrangeas, and wildflowers alongside lemons, red onions, walnuts, pine cones, holly, and succulents. More than 800 color illustrations show the stages closely, offering a clear path for patient beginners and artists returning to the brush after a long while.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e128 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.5\" x 11\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Acorn Toy Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54584666030363,"sku":"9780804856393","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2048\/3699\/files\/StepByStepGuideToBotanicalDrawingAndPainting.jpg?v=1794351649","url":"https:\/\/www.acorntoyshop.com\/products\/a-step-by-step-guide-to-botanical-drawing-painting-by-hidenari-kobayashi","provider":"Acorn Toy Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
